Sunday Stash #114

Melody Miller - Ruby Star Spring
Ruby Star Spring -  Bloom -  in Springtime, Tomato Vine, and Night Lite
I am really drawn to the patterns, graphics and colors of the Ruby Star collection by Melody Miller, but I was hesitant about the feel, weight and drape of this cotton/linen blend fabric.  And so, my initial purchase of this fabric range were just those as pictured above.  But once I got my hands on these and felt how light weight these fabrics were, I couldn't resist and ordered a few more prints to add to my collection.

I adore the color palette as well as the quirky collection of bugs.  I've already envisioned multiple ways of how I am going to cut into the various sections of these prints.
And then there are these bees! Ruby Star Spring - Bee in Tomato Vine and Springtime.  And with a wing span of 13 inches these are definitely large scale prints. I am thinking they would look fun as a feature on a placemat ...


Original prints on an extra wide cotton/linen blend base that is definitely suitable for quilting making.
